Yes they will fit but you will lose .5" to 1" of lift.

I would think that they would. We put grand cherokee V8 springs in my buddies XJ, and it gave him about a 2" lift. It all bolted up and fit just fine.

Many ZJ front lift springs are actually rebadged XJ springs. If it was a 6" XJ spring they'll rebadge it as a 5" ZJ spring and add on $50 cause its for a GRAND.  :roll:

If its a good deal just add a 1" spacer to get where you want to be.
